Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2020 at Experimental Research Farm, UIAS of Chandigarh University, Gharuan (Mohali) to study the growth and development of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under foliar application of panchagavya and fermented buttermilk. There were total nine treatments comprising of wheat with treatment details were T1- Control, T2-2.5 ltr Panchagavya +2.5t/ha FYM, T3–5 ltr Panchagavya+2.5t/ha Vermicompost, T4 – 7.5 ltr Panchagavya+5t/ha FYM, T5–10 ltr Pancahagavya+ 5t/ha Vermicompost, T6–2.5 ltr Fermented Buttermilk + 2.5t/ha FYM, T7–5 ltr Fermented Buttermilk + 2.5t/ha Vermicompost, T8 – 7.5 ltr Fermented Buttermilk + 5t/ha FYM, T9 – 10 ltr Fermented Buttermilk + 5t/ha Vermicompost. The experiment was laid down in Randomized block design with three replication. Growth parameters i.e. plant height (82.91 cm) and dry matter accumulation (210.69 g/m2) at harvesting in treatment T4- 7.5 ltr Panchagavya+5t/ha FYM was significantly superior over other treatment. Yield attributes. i.e length of spike (10.42cm), no. of grain/spike (39.33) and test weight (42.63) was maximum in T4- 7.5 ltr Panchagavya+5t/ha FYM. Grain yield (47.53q/ha), straw yield (68.13q/ha), harvesting index (41.09%) was also maximum in T4-7.5 ltr Panchagavya+5t/ha FYM. Highest net returns Rs 90087.75 and net returns per rupee invested of Rs2.18 was recorded in treatment T4.
